INTRODUCTION 

The  object  of  this  manual  is  to  assist  officers  detailed 
as  Quartermasters  with  troops  in  camp  or  in  the  field. 
The  data  contained  herein  are  carefully  prepared  from 
existing  orders,  regulations  and  laws. 

To  insure  the  prompt  supply  of  the  articles  of  equip- 
ment necessary  for  an  organization,  the  Quartermaster 
should,  first  of  all,  know  (not  guess)  the  quantity  and  kind 
of  supplies  required,  then  submit  requisition  for  same 
stating  on  the  face  of  the  requisition  the  necessity  for  the 
articles  enumerated  thereon. 

The  requisition  approved  by  the  Commanding  Officer 
should  then  be  taken  in  person  to  the  Division  authority 
(usually  the  Quartermaster)  for  approval.  Should  a  ques- 
tion come  up  at  Division  Headquarters  as  to  the  necessity 
for  supplying  any  article,  the  Quartermaster  of  the  organi- 
zation will  be  there  to  explain. 

This  method  will  always  result  in  expediting  the  sup- 
plies for  an  organization. 

The  policy  which  some  Quartermasters  pursue  of  asking 
for  more  than  is  required,  expecting  that  the  quantity 
asked  for  will  be  reduced,  is  entirely  wrong,  a  relic  of  the 
old  army  and  seldom  if  ever  results  satisfactorily. 

Alexander  E.  Williams, 

Captain,  Q.  M.  C. 


CHAPTER  I 
Personnel 

1.  Formerly    regimental    quartermasters    and    commis- 
saries assisted  by  second  lieutenants  handled  all  supplies 
for  troops   in   the   field  beyond  the  rail   head   or  advance 
depot. 

2.  The  recent  law  increasing  the  army  did  away  with 
the  regimental  quartermasters  and  commissaries  and  the 
battalion  quartermasters  and  commissaries,  and  provided 
instead  a  supply  company  for  each  regiment,  assigning  to 
that  organization  sufficient  commissioned  officers  to  look 
after  the  supply  of  the  regiment. 

3.  Each  Infantry  Supply  Company  shall  consist  of  one 
captain  and  one  second  lieutenant  mounted;    each  supply 
troop  of  Cavalry  shall  consist  of  one  captain  and  two  sec- 
ond lieutenants;    each   supply  company  of  a  regiment  of 
Artillery  shall  consist   of  one  captain   and  one  first  lieu- 
tenant. 

4.  Existing  laws  permit  the  detail  of  regimental  supply 
officers  as  assistants  to  post  quartermasters' when  in  gar- 
rison,   but    prohibit    their   being    given    accountability    for 
post  funds  or  property. 

5.  The   object   of  this  provision   is   to   leave   the   regi- 
mental   supply    officers,    to    whom    we    will    refer    in    this 
manual    as    regimental    quartermasters,    always    free    and 
ready  to  take   the   field  with   their  commands.     While  in 
garrison    the    regimental    quartermasters   are   to   assist   in 
supervising  the  procurement,  issue  and  use  of  supplies  and 
the  engagement  of  services  necessary  for  the  commands 
to  which  they  belong. 

6.  The  quartermaster  is  a  member  of  the  staff  of  the 
regimental    commander    and    as    such   is    responsible    that 
each   organization   of   his   regiment   obtain    its   authorized 
quota    of    rations    and    equipment    and    that    the    latter    is 


8  .VAXJAL   FOR  QUARTERMASTERS 

renewed  whenever  necessary  to  keep  it  always  ready  for 
field  service.  He  may  also  be  required  to  pay  the  organiza- 
tions of  his  regiment  when  no  officer  of  the  Q.  M.  C.  is 
available. 

7.  When   a   regiment   takes   the   field   alone  the   duties 
of    the    quartermaster    are    to    rent    camp    sites,    purchase 
necessary    fuel    and    forage    and    to    provide    rations    and 
other  supplies.     When  the  regiment  is  a  part  of  a  larger 
unit,     the     quartermaster     must     obtain     information     as     to 
camping    ground    and    procure    fuel,    forage,    rations,    etc., 
from   the   quartermaster  in  charge  of  the   advance   supply 
depot  or  line  of  communications. 

8.  On   the  march   the  senior  regimental   quartermaster 
assumes   charge   of  all   field   trains   in   the    Brigade,   under 
direction   of  the   Brigade  commander. 

9.  When  troops  are  transported  by  rail  it  is  the  duty  of 
the  quartermaster  of  an  organization  to  arrange  with  the 
railroad  agent  for  the  necessary  accommodations,  inspect 
same,  supervise  the  loading  of  supplies  and  animals,  make 
assignment   of  organizations,  marking  on  outside  of  each 
coach  the  number  of  men  and  their  organization  assigned 
seats  in  that  coach. 

10.  During  the   trip  the  quartermaster   should  keep   in 
touch  with  the  representative  of  the  railroad  and  arrange 
for   the    stops    necessary   for    watering   and   exercising   all 
animals.     The  feeding  can  usually  be  done  without  special 
stops. 


MANUAL  FOR  QUARTERMASTERS  9 

CHAPTER  II 

Transportation 

Wagon  Transportation 

12.  The  wagons  assigned  to  a  regiment  are  organized 
into  field  and  combat  trains.     In  the  wagons  of  the  combat 
train   are   carried   the   ammunition   and   entrenching   tools, 
while  the  field  train  is  composed  of  the  wagons  in  which 
are  carried  the  rations  and  baggage. 

13.  The    field   train    is    divided    into    two    sections,    the 
baggage    section    and    the    ratign    section.      Each    wagon 
should    be    plainly    marked    to    show    to    which    section    it 
belongs. 

14.  When  preparing  for  a  march  the  wagons  are  placed 
and  loading  done  under  supervision  of  the  quartermaster. 
After  being  loaded,  the  wagons  of  the  ration  and  baggage 
sections    are    assembled    and    moved   under    his    direction, 
while   the   combat   wagons    are    assigned   to   battalions    or 
other  subdivisions   and  each   follows   immediately  in   rear 
of  the  organization  to  which  assigned. 

15.  Under  the  present  system  when  a  command  arrives 
at  camp,  after  a  day's  march,  the  men  have  no  rations  in 
their  haversacks  except  the  two  days'  reserve  which  is  to 
be  used  only  in  an  emergency.     So  it  is  of  utmost  impor- 
tance that  the  ration  section  be  brought  up  and  one  day's 
rations   issue   as   soon   as   possible   after   arrival   of  troops 
in  camp. 

16.  The    ration    wagons    which    are    unloaded   must   be 
sent  back  immediately  to  the  rail  head  or  distributing  point 
to  be  refilled.     The  baggage  wagons  after  being  unloaded 
should  be  utilized  for  hauling  wood  and  water  needed  in 
camp  for  preparation  of  meals. 

17.  A  place  should  be  designated  as  the  corral,  where 
the  picket  line  will  be  stretched  and  all  wagons  required 


10  MANUAL  FOR  QUARTERMASTERS 

to  proceed  there-as  soon  as  released  from  hauling  around 
camp.  No  team  should  be  unhitched  before  reporting  at 
the  corral,  where  the  wagons  are  parked  for  the  night  all 
facing  in  direction  to  be  taken  when  they  move  out  next 
morning. 

18.  The  combat  wagons  should  report  at  the  corral  as 
soon  as  ammunition  is  unloaded  and  remain  under  direc- 
tion of  the  quartermaster  until  sent  by  him  to  report  to 
their   respective    organizations   when    the   march    is   to   be 
resumed. 

19.  The  following  table  shows  the  allowance  of  wagons 
for  each  organization  as  given  in  the  tables  of  organiza- 
tion:

Combat  train  

The  wagon  furnished  for  use  of  the  army  is  known  as 
the  escort  wagon  and  is  constructed  to  carry  2500  pounds 
as  normal  load  or  3000  pounds  as  maximum.  Under  no 
circumstances  should  the  maximum  load  be  exceeded,  ex- 
cept under  urgent  military  necessity.  It  is  true  the  wagon 
will  carry  five  thousand  pounds,  but  one  load  as  heavy  as 
that  will  strain  the  parts  so  that  the  useful  life  of  the 
wagon  will  be  considerably  shortened.  So  the  overloading 
in  the  long  run  is  not  economical  or  in  the  interest  of 
the  service. 

20.  Supplies  other  than  ammunition  carried  on  combat 
wagons:

24.  The    daily   allowance    of   forage    for   animals    is    as 
follows:    Horse,  12  Ibs.  grain,  14  Ibs.  hay,  3  1/3  Ibs.  straw 
for  bedding;    horse,  large,  14  Ibs.  grain,  17  Ibs.  hay,  3  1/3 
Ibs.  straw  for  bedding;   mule,  9  Ibs.  grain,  14  Ibs.  hay,  3  1/3 
Ibs.  straw  for  bedding.     To  each  animal  3  pounds  of  bran 
may  be  issued  in  lieu  of  that  quantity  of  grain. 

The  commanding  officer  may,  in  his  discretion,  vary 
the  proportions  of  the  components  of  the  ration  (1  pound 
of  grain,  \l/2  pounds  of  hay,  and  2  pounds  of  straw  being 
taken  as  equivalents)  and  in  the  field  may  substitute 
other  recognized  articles  of  forage  obtained  locally,  the 
variation  or  substitution  not  to  exceed  the  money  value  of 
the  components  of  the  ration  proper  at  the  contract  rates 
at  time  of  change. 

25.  Mounts   are   furnished  by  the   quartermaster  corps 
for  mounted  officers  below  the  grade  of  major,  if  they  so 
elect;  if  they  provide  their  own  mounts  they  will  be  paid 
$150.00  per  year  for   one   horse,   and   $200.00  per  year   for 
two  horses. 

Officers  of  field  rank  will  not  be  furnished  mounts  at 
government  expense. 

26.  The   authorized   private   mounts   of   an    officer    will 
be    foraged,    stabled    and    shod    by    the    Q.    M.    C.    at    the 
officer's    regular    post    of    duty,    when    he    is    on    leave    of 
absence    or    when    he    is    on    duty,    the    nature    of    which 


MANUAL  FOR  QUARTERMASTERS  13 

necessitates  temporaiy  separation  from  his  mounts.  The 
cost  of  grooming  is  not  a  proper  charge  against  public 
funds. 

27.  Forage    is    furnished    to    the    following    number    of 
horses: 

Lieutenant    General    4;     Major    General    3;     Brigadier 
General  3;  all  other  mounted  officers  2. 

Motor  Truck  Transportation 

28.  Motor  trucks  of  one  and  one-half  ton  capacity  have 
now  been  adopted  for  use  on  the  line  of  communications. 
Eventually  trucks  will  replace   the  mules   and   wagons  in 
our  field  and  combat  trains,  then  take  the  place  of  draft 
horses  in  our  field  artillery. 

29.  The   first  organization   of  trucks   ever  used   in   our 
army,  was  on  the  line  of  communications  when  our  troops 
entered  Mexico  in  March,  1916. 

30.  The  organization  of  Motor  Truck  Company: 

1  Truckmaster  1  Trumpeter  messenger 

3  Assistant  Truckmasters         28  Chauffeurs 

1    Machinist  27  Motor  trucks 

1   Machinist  helper  1  Repair  truck 

1  Cook  5  Motor-cycles 

1  Watchman 

31.  A  ton  and  half  truck  should  make  an   average   of 
5  miles   to   the   gallon   of  gasoline,   and   125  miles   to  the 
gallon  of  oil  used.     This  is  for  all  kinds  of  field  service. 

32.  In  a  property  book  will  be  kept  a  descriptive  list 
of    all    vehicles    in    a    motor    truck    company,    giving    the 
quartermaster's    number    and    the    manufacturer's    serial 
number    of    all    machines    and    full    particulars    as    to    the 
equipment  of  each. 

In  this  book  will  also  be  recorded  the  personnel  of 
the  motor  company,  giving  the  name,  assignment  and 
length  of  service,  of  each  person  in  the  company,  when 
and  where  first  enlisted. 


14  MANUAL  FOR  QUARTERMASTERS 

Railroad  Transportation 

33.  For   the   transportation   of   troops   by   rail   the   fol- 
lowing equipment  is  authorized  when  available: 

For  commissioned  officers,  standard  sleeper,  3  to  each 
section. 

For  enlisted  men,  standard  tourist  sleepers,  3  to  each 
section. 

For  animals,  Palace  Arms  Horse  Cars,  18  animals  to 
each  car. 

For  freight,  standard  box  cars. 

For  artillery  guns  and  caissons  and  wagons,  set  up, 
flat  cars. 

When  standard  equipment  is  not  available  troops  will 
be  transported  in  any  kind  of  cars  available. 

34.  For  preparing  meals  for  troops  on  trains,  baggage- 
cars  are  provided,  in  which  is  placed  a  kitchen-car  equip- 
ment.    If  this  equipment  is  not  available,  two  field  ranges, 
set  up  in  boxes  of  dirt,  in  one  baggage-car  will  be  suffi- 
cient to  prepare  meals  for  four  companies. 

The  baggage-car  thus  equipped  should  be  so  placed 
in  the  train  as  to  have  two  companies  ahead  and  two  in 
rear  of  the  mess  car.  Meals  should  be  served  to  the  men 
in  the  various  cars  by  mess  attendants,  thereby  avoiding 
the  congestion  which  would  result  if  the  men  should  go  to 
the  mess  car  for  their  meals. 

35.  There  are  a  limited  number  of  kitchen  car  equip- 
ments owned  by  the  Q.  M.  C.,  part  of  which  are  kept  at 
St.  Louis  and  part  at  San   Francisco.     The   Pullman   Car 
Co.  also  have  a  number  of  kitchen  cars,  but  it  is  well  to 
prepare  for  using  field  ranges  for  the  regular  kitchen  car 
equipments  are  seldom  obtainable. 

36.  The  authorized  private  mounts  will  be  transported 
by  the  Q.  M.  C.  for  the  officers  changing  station  and  for 
graduates   of  the   U.   S.    Military   Academy,   reporting  for

b.  Valuation  for  shipment  not  to  exceed  $100.00.

chase   to    station    of   officer,   provided   he    had    no

e.  Horses  may  be  shipped  to  a  remount  depot 
or  to  any  place  in  U.  S.  for  safekeeping,  when  an 
officer  is  ordered  for  duty  beyond  the  sea. 

f.  Private  mounts  in  excess  of  authorized  allow- 
ance may  be  shipped  on  Government  B/L  provided 
cost  of  transportation  is  deposited  with   shipping 
quartermaster. 

37.  Shipments  by  express,  when  in  excess  of  cost  by 
ordinary    freight    must    be    limited    to    emergencies    and

18  MANUAL  FOR  QUARTERMASTERS 

CHAPTER  III 

Supplies 
Supplies  for  Troops  in  the  Field 

41.  The  chief  quartermaster  of  a  field  army,  or  other 
separate    organized    unit,    will    be    responsible,    under    the 
direction  of  his  commander,  for  the  prompt  and  efficient 
supply   of   subsistence,   clothing,    fuel    and    other    supplies 
for    troops,    and    forage    for    animals,    pertaining    to    the 
command. 

42.  Method  of  Supply:    All  supplies  including  subsis- 
tence will,  so  far  as  practicable,  be  furnished  from  stock 
or  by  purchase,  or  both,  by  the  designated  base  or  other 
depot  upon  properly  approved  requisitions,  requests,  ration 
returns,  etc.,  or  purchase  locally,  by  chief  or  other  quarter- 
masters, or  by  requisitions  or  levies  in  the  theatre  of  opera- 
tions, and  in  such  manner  as  may  be  directed  by  the  com- 
mander of  the  field  army  or  other  separate  organized  unit. 

43.  Supply  of  troops  from  base   depot  and  advanced 
depots.    Requisitions  for  supplies   required  by  units   of  a 
division    should,   unless   otherwise    directed   by   competent 
authority,  be  submitted  periodically  through  proper  chan- 
nels to  the  division  quartermaster,  and  by  him  consolidated 
or  not,  as  may  be  deemed  the  most  expedient,  and  sent 
direct  to   the   base   depot  for   supply;   supply"  being  made 
direct  to  the  division,  or  to  its  units  from  the  base  depot 
or  from  the  advance  depot. 

44.  Rations  are  called  class  Al  supplies,  when  they  are 
obtained  from  the  post  quartermaster  in  garrison  and  in 
the  field  from  the  quartermaster  at  the  rail  head  or  dis- 
tributing point.     In    either   case    the    regimental    quarter- 
master draws  rations  in  bulk  for  the  organizations  or  de- 
tachments   of   his   regiment,   daily   or   at    such    times   and 
places    as    the    division    commander    may    designate,    and 
immediately  distribute  them  to  the  various  organizations. 


MANUAL  FOR  QUARTERMASTERS  19 

45.  The  rations  are  obtained  as  follows.    Each  organi- 
zation submits  ration  return  for  stated  periods.     These  are 
consolidated   by   the    regimental    quartermaster,    approved 
by  the  commanding  officer,  and  submitted  to  the  issuing 
quartermaster   who   makes   the   issue   and  uses   the   ration 
return  as  voucher  for  dropping  the  supplies. 

46.  Officers  may  be  included  on  the  ration  return  by 
name,  but  they  are  required  to  pay  for  rations  drawn. 

47.  In   garrison   and   permanent   camp,   each   organiza- 
tion is   credited  with   money  value   of  the   rations,   on   its 
return   for   a   certain   period.      At   the    end    of   this    ration 
period,  the  organization  is  charged  with  the  value  of  ra- 
tions   drawn   from   the    quartermaster   during   that   period 
and  paid  balance,  if  any,  in  cash. 

When  troops  take  the  field  or  are  ordered  to  concentra- 
tion camp,  this  system  is  suspended  and  rations  are  issued 
in  kind.  No  money  is  paid  for  rations  not  drawn. 

48.  The   commander  of  field   forces   has   wide   latitude 
in  prescribing  the  ration  to  be  issued.     It  should  always 
be  based  on  the  reserve  ration  using  that  in  whole  or  in 
part,  supplemented  by  such  other  articles  as  are  procurable 
locally. 

In  no  case  should  the  field  ration  be  augmented  to 
exceed  in  value  the  authorized  garrison  ration. 

49.  The  following  table  gives  components  of  the  vari- 
ous rations:

22  MANUAL  FOR  QUARTERMASTERS 

50.  Subsistence  Stores:   In  campaign  accountability  for 
subsistence    stores   terminates   with   their   transfer    to   the 
divisions   or   other   units — quartermasters   in   front   of   the 
advanced  depot  keeping  accountability  on  forms  furnished 
by  the  Quartermaster  Corps  and  in  accordance  with  printed 
instructions    thereon.     Base    depots    or    other    sources    of 
supply  will  account  for  subsistence   stores   on  authorized 
forms  now  in  use  and  in  accordance  with  Army  Regula- 
tions, Manual  for  the  Subsistence  Department,  and  instruc- 
tions printed  on  the  forms. 

51.  Field  return  of  subsistence  stores:   The  field  return 
of  subsistence  stores   (Field  Form   No.   1   Subsistence)   is 
for  use  as  a  memorandum  record  when  troops  are  in  the 
field  in  time  of  war  beyond  the  advanced  depots  and  is 
intended  for  use   by  any   quartermaster  making  issues   to 
troops,  and  will  be  prepared  and  kept  as  follows: 

(a)  It    will    be    made    up    by    the    quartermaster    and 
retained    by    him    as    a    memorandum    record    subject    to 
inspection    at    any    time    by    proper    authorities.      When 
these  returns,  and  vouchers  thereto,  become  cumbersome 
and   too  bulky  to   be   conveniently   carried  by  the   officer 
concerned,  the  books  completed  or  filled  up  with  vouchers 
thereto   should   be   mailed   to   the    Quartermaster    General 
for  storage  and  reference  thereto  when  necessary. 

(b)  When  the  items  are  too  numerous  to  be  entered  on 
front,  the  reverse  side  of  the  form  will  be  used  for  abstract- 
ing invoices  for  stores   received   (Field   Form   No.  2),   or 
receipts   for   stores   transferred    (Field  Form   No.  2),   and 
for  stores  received  on  Field  Form  No.  22. 

(c)  The  loss,  destruction,  or  abandonment  of  any  stores 
will  be  explained  in  column  of  remarks. 

(d)  If  necessary  two  or  more  sheets  of  this  return  may 
be  used,  in  which  case  the  sheets  used  will  be  numbered 
serially  and  each  sheet  properly  dated  and  signed  by  the 
accountable  officer. 


MANUAL  FOR  QUARTERMASTERS  23 

(e)  All  vouchers  to  the  return  must  be  numbered  in 
one  series. 

52.  Way  Bill  and  Transfer  Slip  (Field  Form  No.  2): 

The  Way  Bill  and  Transfer  Slip  is  to  be  used  when  troops 
are  in  the  field  in  time  of  war  beyond  the  advanced  depots, 
and  is  intended  for  use  by  any  quartermaster  transferring 
stores. 

53.  It  will  be  made  up  in  triplicate,  with  carbon  paper. 
The  original  (white)  sheet  will  go  forward  with  the  stores 
to  the  consignee,  signed  by  the  consignor,  as  an  invoice. 
The   tissue   sheet   bearing   the   certificate   of  the   shipping 
quartermaster   (or  his  authorized  deputy)   that  he  has  re- 
ceived the  stores  for  shipment,  will  be  retained  by  the  con- 
signor as  his  receipt  for  the  stores  and  subsequently  for- 
warded with  his  return  of  subsistence  stores  to  the  Chief 
of  the  Quartermaster  Corps  or  filed  with  his  field  return  as 
the  case  may  be.    The  triplicate  (blue)  sheet  will  be  given 
to  the  shipping  quartermaster,  who  will,  upon  delivery  of 
the  stores,  obtain  the  consignee's  receipt  thereon.     When 
stores  are  lost,  destroyed,  or  abandoned  while  in  transit, 
the  quartermaster  will  fill  in  the  upper  certificate  on  the 
reverse   side   of   the    original    (white)    sheet,   and   make   a 
memorandum  of  the  loss  on  the  reverse  side  of  the  tripli- 
cate  (blue)   sheet.     The  consignee  will  execute  the  lower 
certificate  on  the  reverse  side  of  the  original  (white)  sheet, 
and  file  it  with  his  field  return  or  subsistence  stores. 

54.  Field  Ration  Return:  The  field  Ration  Return 
(Field  Form  No.  3)  is  to  be  used  when  troops  are  in  the 
field  in  time  of  war  beyond  the  advance  depots  and  is  for 
use  by  any  quartermaster  requiring  rations  or  other  sub- 
sistence stores. 

55.  Bread  is  supplied  troops  in  the  field,  when  practi- 
cable, from  field  bakeries  which  are  attached  to  divisions 
when  in  permanent  camp,  or  to  line  of  communica- 
tion when  troops  are  campaigning.  The  bakeries  produce 


24 


MANUAL  FOR  QUARTERMASTERS 


fresh  bread  when  required  for  immediate  consumption 
and  field  bread  when  required  for  shipment,  or  when 
considerable  time  must  elapse  between  baking  and  con- 
sumption. 

56.  Bakery  companies  will  be  organized  for  war  service 
at  the  rate  of  one  for  each  division.     A  bakery  company 
at  war  strength  is  divided  into  four  sections  of  three  units 
each. 

The  sections  are  lettered  A,  B,  C,  D,  and  the  units  are 
numbered  from  1  to  12. 

One  section  will  supply  bread  for  a  brigade  and  one 
unit  a  war  strength  regiment  of  Infantry.

CHAPTER  IV 

Property 

61.  In   publishing    G.    O.    39   W.    D.    1915,    it    was    the 
intention  to  prescribe  a  unit  equipment,  for  each  organiza- 
tion, which  would  contain   every  article  of  quartermaster 
property  or  supplies  authorized  for  field  service. 

62.  The    articles    of    the    equipment    should    be    drawn 
in   bulk  by   the   regimental   quartermaster   and   issued   by 
him    to    each    organization.      He    receipts    to    the    depot 
quartermaster   issuing   the    supplies,   takes   them   up    on   a 
field  property  return  and  distributes  them  to  the  various 
organizations.       From    each     organization    he     obtains    a 
receipt,  not  for  the  individual  articles  but  for  one  equip- 
ment A,  B,  or  C,  complete. 

63.  Thereafter  when  an   article   of  the  unit   equipment 
becomes  unserviceable  it  is  taken  to  the  regimental  quarter- 
master and  is  replaced  by  a  serviceable  one.     If  lost,  the 
organization  commander  submits  to  the  quartermaster  an 
approved  survey,  fixing  responsibility,  and  obtains  a  ser- 
viceable article, 

Unserviceable    articles     turned    in    to     the    regimental 
quartermaster  are  disposed  of  by  him  as  provided  in  A.  R. 

64.  Other   property   of  the   quartermaster   corps:    Ac- 
countability for  other  supplies  and  property  of  the  Quarter- 
master Corps  of  the  expendable  class,  such  as  stationery, 
blank  books,  memorandum  books,  scratch  or  memo,  pads, 
duplicating   and    triplicating   books,   rulers,   paper    folders, 
veterinary  medicines  and  dressings,  horse  and  mule  shoes, 
horseshoe  nails,  brooms   (stable  and  corn),  brushes,  nails, 
lumber,  paints,  oils,  wicks  and  other  lamp  and  lantern  parts,

assorted,  iron  and  steel  assorted,  hatchet,  axe  and  other

field,  fuel  and  forage,  and  clothing  for  issue  to  enlisted 
men,  terminate  with  their  transfer  to  the  division  or  other 
organized  unit. 

65.  Officers  making  transfers  of  fuel  and  forage  to  divi- 
sions or  other  units  will  show  on  vouchers  dropping  same 
from  their  accountability  the  number  of  men  for  fuel  and 
animals  for  forage. 

66.  Quartermasters  of  divisions  or  other  quartermasters 
making  purchases  of  supplies  and  paying  for  same,  will  be 
required  to  account  for  same  on  property  account  (Q.  M.  C. 
Form    No.    200),    taking    credit    thereon    for    issues    and 
transfers. 

67.  Receipts  for  expendable  supplies  will  be  taken  by 
the  base  or  other  depot  or  supply  point  on  Q.  M.  C.  Form 
No.  201,  combination  invoice  and  receipt,  and  same  used 
as  a  voucher  to  property  account  and  disposed  of  as  directed 
herein.     These  supplies  will  not  be  invoiced  to  consignee, 
but  a  copy  of  the  receipt  for  the  supplies  will  be  furnished 
him   for   his   information.      Clothing   will   be   requisitioned 
for  and  receipted  for  when  practicable  on  Q.  M.  C.  Form 
No.  213,  and  this  form  when  so  used  becomes  a  voucher 
to  property  account.     If  transfers  of  clothing  are  made  in 
bulk  to  regimental  or  other  quartermasters,  receipts  will  be 
taken  on  Q.  M.  C.  Form  No.  201,  and  such  quartermasters 
will  either  account  for  the  clothing  or  furnish  the  officer 
making  the  transfer  of  same   with   completed  receipts  on 
Q.  M.  C.   Form  No.  213  showing  issues  to  organizations. 
These  receipts  to  be  filed  as  sub-vouchers  to  voucher  of

83.  As  soon  as  the  militia  are  actually  sworn  into  the 
service   as  volunteers   they  pass   from   the   control   of  the 
State    to    that    of    the    U.    S.      Thereafter    the     Federal 
Government  will  subsist,  care,  transport  and  have  exclu- 
sive charge  of  them  as  volunteers. 

84.  Each  organization  called  forth  preparatory  to  mus- 
ter in,  at  a  late  date,  as  U.  S.  Volunteers,  will  take  with 
it  to  the  mobilization  camp  all  serviceable  property  (Fed- 
eral, State  and  organization)  pertaining  to  the  organization 
and  suitable  for  field  service. 

85.  As  soon  as  a  regiment  or  other  separate  organiza- 
tion has  been  mustered  into  the  service  of  the  U.  S.,  the 
mustering  officer  or  his  assistant,  with  a  representative  of 
the    State,    will    inventory    and    inspect    all    property    be- 
longing to  the  U.   S.   taken   by  such   troops   into   Federal

CHAPTER  V 

Finance 

88.  Quartermasters  of  organizations  and  acting  Quar- 
termasters are  not  required  to  be  bonded.     A  line  officer 
detailed  for  duty  in  the  Quartermaster  Corps  is  required 
to  have  a  $10,000  bond. 

89.  Usually  the  only  money  accountability  required  of 
organization   Quartermasters  is  for  funds  necessary  on  a 
march,   for   purchasing   forage,   fuel,   water,   renting   camp 
sites,  and  in  some  cases  purchasing  rations  and  engaging 
services  of  mechanics. 

90.  The   payment   of   troops   and   civilian    employes   is 
usually   made   by   an    officer   of   the    Quartermaster    Corps 
attached  to  Division  or  line  of  communications. 

91.  Engagement     of     Services,     Personal     and     Non- 
Personal:  All  services,  personal  and  non-personal,  required 
in  connection  with  troops  in  the  field  will  be  obtained  under 
authority  of  the   commander  of  the   Field  Army  or  of  a 
division  commander,  when  required  in  connection  with  a 
division,  or  commander  of  the  line  of  communication  when 
required  in  connection  with  the  line  of  communicaton  and 
the  base. 

92.  Personal    Services:    All    employments    in    positions 
having  a  classified  status  under   Civil   Service   Rules   and 
Regulations,  such  as  clerks,  stenographers  and  typewriters, 
typewriters,    copyists,    messengers,    mechanics,    engineers, 
firemen,   civil   engineers,    superintendents   of   construction, 
draftsmen,  superintendent  of  labor,  wagonmasters,  forage- 
masters,  pack-masters,  veterinarians,  etc.,  must  be  reported 


MANUAL  FOR  QUARTERMASTERS  61 

to  the  Chief  of  the  Quartermaster  Corps  at  the  end  of  the 
month  in  which  hired.  Report  to  show  name,  designation, 
rate  of  pay  and  date  of  hire. 

93.  When  employes  filling  positions  having  a  classified 
status   (as  per  paragraph  92)   are  separated  from  the  ser- 
vice (by  death,  discharge,  resignation  or  otherwise),  names, 
designation,   rate   of  pay,   and   date   of   separation   will   be 
reported  to  the  Chief  of  the  Quartermaster  Corps  at  the 
end  of  the  month  in  which  the  separation  occurred. 

94.  Non-Personal  Services:  Non-personal  services  con- 
sist   of    services   procured   under   contract    (not    including 
employes  hired  under  contract  or  oral  agreement),  under 
written  proposal,  and  written  acceptance   and  under  oral 
agreement  (open  market). 

95.  When  making  purchases  in  the  field  or  in  camp  it 
is   always   well   to   get   prices   informally   from   all   dealers 
that  can  be  reached  and  this  fact  noted  on  face  of  voucher. 

96.  However,    purchases   without    inviting   competition 
are  authorized  in  the  following  cases: 

(a)  When  cost  of  supplies  does  not  exceed  $500. 

(b)  In  an  emergency  when  there  is  not  time  for  invit- 
ing competition. 

(c)  When   exceptional   articles   are   required   or  prices 
are  fixed. 

97.  In   all   other   cases    circular    to   bidders    should    be 
sent  out  inviting  bids  in  writing,  Q.  M.  C.,  form  119.     For 
advertising   in    newspapers    the    written    authority    of   the 
Secretary  of  War  is  necessary,  for   the   Revised   Statutes 
prohibit  publishing  public  advertisement  in  any  newspaper 
except  by  written  authority  from  the  head  of  the  Depart- 
ment. 

98.  A  guaranty  must  be  furnished  with  each  bid  when

1  gallon  per  man  on  march. 

5  gallons  per  man  in  camp. 

6  to  10  gallons  per  animal  on  march  and  camp. 
(The  above  figures  apply  to  water  taken  from  streams, 

where  animals  are  watered  at  the  streams,  and  cooking 
water  carried.  In  estimating  the  daily  supply  for  perma- 
nent or  semipermanent  camps,  where  water  is  piped  to 
kitchens,  bath  houses,  etc.,  the  requirements  will  be  25  to 
30  gallons  per  man  and  10  to  15  gallons  per  animal,  de- 
pending on  climatic  conditions.) 

Estimating  quantity  of  water  in  stream: 

B  X  D  X  V  X  10,800  =  gallons  in  24  hours.  B  =  average 
width,  D  =  average  depth,  V  =  average  velocity  (all  in 
feet).
